Rishi Dhamla

Rishi Dhamala is your typical sleazy character. The kind of guy you don’t want to trust but end up trusting anyway cause he knows how to work his way up the ladder. This wanna be journalist/ political activist is friends with almost all major political leaders in Nepal. When he was arrested earlier this year ,for masterminding 3 bomb blasts in Kathmandu, members from all parties united to get his bugger out of jail. Koirala, Prachanda, and Nepal are all pals with this guy. He runs a forum for people to come and debate called The Reporters Club Nepal where from political leaders come and give their version of the story. This “debating” forum provides an opportunity for the leaders to justify their actions in front of journalist, whereby covering their action with a veil of legitimacy. It provides a chance to politicians to offer a cover up. A cover up which is neither debated nor questioned. And by presiding over this cover up providing ceremony he has come to be pally with all those he extends his service to. Don’t get me wrong ,I am all for giving people an opportunity to debate their ideas and providing their version of the truth but the allowing them to go unchallenged seems kind of unreporter like.
He is so liked that the Prime Minister thought it was necessary to add him in his entourage in for the UN Summit. I guess Nepal needed someone who could woo some other fishy characters over. Why on earth would you take this guy as one of the members of your delegation to the UN of all the places? It is like Obama taking the Nigerian Terrorist guy to the UN summit. One has to question why on earth is this guy to liked by everyone in power. First it was the former king who gave him an award of some kind, then Koirala came to his defense when he got arrested, then the home minister (the ministry which in charge of the nations police) Bem Dev Gautam came out and shed a tear on his behalf and even Sujata Koirala, DPM, seems to love him.
Dhamala now plans to join politics (formally) and mess Nepal up in the open. After having failed to write a sensible article he now plans to write a book. But hey he did donate Rs 15,000 for the care of the struggling journalist, I guess that makes everything alright.

Maoist and India- A match made in heaven

http://www.nepalnews.com/main/index.php/news-archive/1-top-story/3030-maoists-ready-to-talk-with-india-instead-of-current-puppet-governmentend-three-day-nationwide-strike.html

Maoist chairman is ready to talk to India about civil supremacy and national sovereignty in Nepal. He further added that by doing so he is actively reducing India's involvement in Nepali politics. Reports suggest that this new strategy of "involving those who you suggest should not be involved" is one of the many grand tricks in Chairman Prachandas bag. Other such thoughtful tricks included: firing the chief of army staff who had couple of months left in his tenure, speaking grandly of him fooling the UN while being video taped, quitting the government after having won the election with a landslide, forming a alliance with RPP and other right parties in the name of national sovereignty.
People are trilled to see what happens next or rather what India will show them next. New Delhi has not responded to this urgent call by the Maoists to aid Nepal with its national sovereignty. However, unconfirmed reports suggest that they don't care and won't really bother about it.
After this historic three day protest that saw the country lose some more of its dignity and millions of rupees, the Maoist leadership rendezvoused in Prachands house in the evening for an ugly sweater party ( every one was dressed prior to the occasion).
Prachanda came in a narrow first ahead of Badal. Dr. Bhattarai who was the judge was reported saying that the chief was first because of three primary factors a) ever successful cliched trick of wearing red to a Maoist rally, b) the sheer ugliness of his sweater, and c) he is the boss.

The Tale of Karima Begum

The Karima Begum- CDO Bhandari saga does not seem to end. And frankly speaking, as a follower of Nepali politics it entertains me. Yes, the entire story makes Nepali politics look ridiculous but, let face it, what does not. This story is a fine refreshment from the daily news of bands, riots, and deadlocks.

Karima Begum, the state minister of Agriculture slapped Chief District Officer Durga Bhandari. The CDO has accused the minister of manhandling him, while the minister has responded with an accusation of “misconduct to her body”. Talk about the fight between bureaucracy and politics.

After having watched Karima Begum’s thunderous interview it was clear that she was angry at the CDO and his apparent incompetence. Although I think Mrs. Begum’s “attempt to pull her into his chamber” argument is shrouded in “bull feces”, the CDO seems to be a complete nincompoop. Clearly he has not been doing his job well. But does he deserve being beaten up and humiliated in public is the question. This saga also raises question on the lack of limitation and judicial restriction of ministerial power and freedom to do what s/he pleases. Karima Begum sees no wrong in what she has done and she will not back down.

However I must congratulate Mrs. Begum for her success and undying efforts to empower the Nepali women and start a new era of revolution. At first Karima Begum seems to be an aggressive women looking for any excuse that would allow her to wriggle herself out of this unwanted limelight. But now it seems she has developed a fondness for this attention. Just look at her blasting the journalists and their questions. Although half of what she says is illogical and nowhere related to the topic at hand, she seems adamant to say what she feels she must. In her search for excuses Mrs. Begum is ready to bring out the much awaited feminist argument. I am sure she could convince us that her slapping the CDO was a valiant attempt to empower the Nepali women. It was a call to arms, she might add. Mrs.Begum has shown that one does not need to be a man to be a thug. Thuggery is based on the policy of nondiscrimination. For this madam you will go down in history as one of the first women thugs in Nepali politics. Congratulation!

Mrs. Begum has suggested that she beat up the CDO because he was no doing his job well. If that is so then I hope Karima Begum’s slapping the CDO was only the first step towards higher goals. Next on her list should be high profile office holders and power players, so MKN, GP, Prachanda beware the hand of wrath. This can start a new era of revolution. A revolution in which people have the liberty to slap anyone who does not do his job. A revolution based on limited violence and complete irradiation of corruption. Thank you Karima for showing us a new inexpensive way to solve so many of our problems.

Go on Karima, go on. Your historic slap can be the start of the beta version of the “new Nepal”, and for this I salute you.

The Pen is Still Mightier than the Sword

Whenever a nation has fallen victim to its faults, its desperation and greed; when society is reduced to a savagely fight for more power and the dark abyss of hopelessness envelopes the most optimistic of men, it fall on the duty of a brave few to do what their morality deems necessary.
Today Nepal finds itself in a state of political, social and moral chaos. There is neither a believable ideologies to guide the cause of a nation nor patriots to carry the responsibility of building a nation for the nation. What we have today is a strange concoction of aristocracy; nonsensical democracy and socialism that would make that Marx shave off his glorious beard in shame. Who then shall the motherland turn to in these grave times?
I see these heroes in the ones holding the pen. If ever this nation needed to remind itself that the pen is indeed mightier than the sword, it is now.
The media is educated and sensible enough to see through this pathetic tragedy the power players have reduced this country to. Regardless of where you find yourself in the political spectrum it is impossible to deny the sheer incompetence of the rascals that have benefited from this national robbery. The role of this profession is not only to parrot the daily happening of the day, but to act as watchdogs of civility and democracy. Everyday people watch the news, listen to the radio or read a newspaper believing that the media knows more that the common man. Media, the common man hopes, will hold the power players accountable for the authority we have given them to make rules for us.
The government is nothing but an idea. People like you and me give it authority and legitimacy. They cannot seek legitimacy from us and then use the same to make our lives more inconvenient. Not only is that wrong, it is shameful. The media has to expose this shamelessness more. If the people of the country are apathetic towards the violation of their rights it because the nations media has failed in its purpose. I urge the media to unmask each of the power brokers. I urge the media to give air time to public oriented debates. More interviews, harsher questions. Questions that the public wants to ask, and verify the response and hold them accountable for their response. Run profile checks on the qualifications of each minister. Search the skeletons in the closets of the main hustlers in Nepali politics, and knowing them they will have plenty. I urge the media to shift form a political friendly attitude to a citizen oriented attitude. To break the political “mumbo-jumbo” and translate it into something the layman can understand. For if he understands the depth of hypocrisy that this country is innocently subjected to, he will neither tolerate it any longer nor let it happen again. The layman needs guidance and the media needs to provide it. Real journalism, the reason most of you look up this profession, is calling.
In Nepal’s recent history we have had numerous revolutions against ideologies and institutions. One revolution after another we fell prey to the same parasitic tendencies we where revolting against. It is now time to sprinkle salt on the hordes of leeches sucking on the blood of national progress and prosperity. The media must take up “arms” and leak its blood for the sake of the nation that absolutely needs it to do so.

The Long Awaited Death of the Koirala family Legitimacy.

The Long Awaited Death of the Koirala family Legitimacy.

What a sad fate for the Koirala family hegemony? I am personally not a very big fan of dynasty politics; however I can’t help but admire the rise and fall of this family. No other family has dominated civilian politics like the Koiralas. They have developed a love-hate relationship with the country. There are those who think the Koiralas are the pioneers of Nepali democracy and can always be trusted. While there are those who hate the constant nepotism and abandonment of the ideologies that is associated with the family. However, the recent appointment of Sujata Koirala as the Deputy Prime Minister is so shameful, that the last ounce of legitimacy that the Koiralas enjoyed historically in the Nepali Congress party and the country has been exhausted.
On January 26,1947 when The Nepali Congress was inaugurated under the Presidency of Tanka Prasad and the Acting Presidency of a certain B.P. Koirala things were different. The call for an armed struggle against the Rana’s was in the air and the Nepali congress was leading the charge. The Koiralas were in the center of the action. Girja babu was in his youthful prime and lead demonstration of the jute mill workers in Biratnagar. Even after the fall of the Rana regime in 1951, the Koirlas contribute in shaping the destiny of this country. B.P was so liked that half a million showed up for his funeral. The countless number of times we’ve had a Koirala prime minster shows that Nepali’s have provided the Koirlas legitimacy to lead us in the frailest of times. We have turned to the much “hated” Koirlas for reconciliation trusting in there legitimacy to hold the country together as recently as the April 2006 when we handed over the top position to Girja babu. Koirala’s have earned this legitimacy on bases of sacrifice and worth in the past. They have made personal sacrifices for the country and the people have rewarded them with love, respect and political authority. But now rewards they are reaping have far exceeded the service they are providing.
Blatant nepotism, ceaseless personal glorification and embarrassing hold of the power structure within the party and the country has drained there political authority. The “new” generation of Koiralas has taken more from the system than put into it. There is no struggle behind their words and hallow promises mar their speeches.
Being able to persuade one’s father is not reason enough to be appointed the DPM of a country.There seem to be no Koirala heavyweight in Nepali politics once Grirja babu kicks the bucket (touch wood!), and his attempt to make Sujata the custodian is to say the least pitiful. The relatively weak political careers of Shekar and Shashank Koirala, the switching of sides of Prakash Koirala and the death of Sushila and Nona Koirala has not helped to maintain the power either. All this drama has even blemished Sushil Koiralas comparatively “respectful” political life and families hold on politics.
People now view the Koiralas as an old and desperate family clinging helplessly to power cause they don’t have an idea of what will happen if they let go. They have enjoyed political limelight for so long that it scares them to think about being “just another family”. They are unpopular among the youth. Although vaguely loyal the congress party youth is fed up, seeing the family as a hindrance to the democratic transfer of power within the party. For the educated youth the Congress is unattractive to follow. The youth knows that worthless and boring ideas of the previous decades do not work in the 21st century. And the Koiralas have been justifiably reduced to a personification of those decaying ideas.

Are you crazy???

Sujata has been appointed as the new Deputy Prime Minister. WTF??????
This is bloody ridiculous. What is happening? i guess if i cry my eyes out and bug my poor old father ill be appointed Agriculture minister to say the least. What kind of a unethical, illogical, moronic move is this. What is the explanation of this appointment? "New Nepal" ..is this what they were so excited about?
The reason the prime minster gave for this appointment was to mend relations between Girja P. Koirala and himself.What???? The government is not your fathers property you power hungry assholes. It belongs to the people. The people have to pay for Sujata as a DPM. And here comes the worst part...she is not even the sole Deputy Prime Minister..we already have one...shes is the second......what the hell is happening here? where is the public outrage..is everyone angry about this nonsense or is it just me.

We- the Bigots

“We –The Bigots”

We are a diverse country. With over 92 different living languages, and countless different ethnicity and religion we have a wide variety of culture and people. However, only few individuals from the minority communities take part in policy formation and decision making at the government level. The government and bureaucracy are filled with people from either the Bahun or the Chetri community. They have dominated politics, army, bureaucracy, education and most of the other institutions.
However, over the past few years the political awareness of the masses has increased by a significant level. The oppressed have begun to raise their voices. The government and people in general cannot ignore the fundamental ethnic polarization in our culture for long. The issue needs to be addressed. I am not talking about addressing the issue at the government and bureaucratic level. With the increase of political power of the minorities, especially the Madhesi community, I am sure at the government level some improvement will come. But I wonder whether or not we as citizens are ready for intelligent and meaningful debates about letting our bigotry go.
A Madhesi should not have to undergo the humiliating treatment, and stereotyping he/she has been subject to in the past. They should not have racial slurs hurled at them for something they have no control over. A Pahadi in Tarai should have the right to live without harassment. It’s the 21st century and we are still categorizing people based on ascriptive characteristics. And this is being done not only by people who are uninformed and uneducated, but disappointingly by people who we are hoping will change the way our country is. The youth all over the country is still engaging in what they so loudly preach against. So how are we to change a system in whose formation we all are equally and presently guilty.
For this type of bigotry to end we must engage the civilian population in meaningful conversation. We have to inculcate the idea of equality and anti-discrimination in our educational and social system. Educated youth must challenge the bigotry of the past. Are we going to build a nation where we hate and hold prejudices based on our skin tone and accent? Is that what we want to leave behind for our children? A messed up country with so many unresolved issues, like the one we have inherited, courtesy our unquestioning forefathers.
We all think everyone should be equal (at least I hope we all do), then why not practice what we preach. It’s not that difficult. Engage someone who is being a bigot in a conversation, ask them for their logic. Stop your friends when they pass a racist judgment. Talk to people, friends from different backgrounds, about the situation and work with them and through them to make a difference. Question your parents, teach them, and learn from them. Change does not come from sitting on our fat and lazy posteriors and complaining, it comes from active engagement and debate. And if and when you debate remember what Aristotle so wisely said, “The end result of a debate should not be victory but wisdom”.

A Call to All Moderates.

A Call to All Moderates.
Madhesi movement was overdue. After the April revolution, the political conscience of the Nepali population was revived. By the conclusion of the restoration of “democracy” and commencement of the nation building process, Madhesi who were discriminated against found the opportune time to start their greatest battle for equality. Madhesi from all over pitched in to support for the fight. Blogs rallied for support and momentum to the movement. Student, political parties, businessmen, farmers, academia, someone from every strata of society demonstrated on the streets for equality in Nepal. The movement was an example of how nationalistic and humanitarian integrity can be achieved.
However, some over zealots administered into this movement that which changed the noble grounds on which the movement was founded. The policy of attacking innocent Pahadis was inculcated into the movement. And a feeling of revenge was installed. These uncalled for revengeful attacks on Pahadis has inspired a new wave of skepticism among the already skeptical Pahadi community. The policy of reverse discrimination is tainting the struggle for equality. Incident like these prevent meaningful debates from taking place. Emotional bias and ethnic pride has prevented intelligent conversation among all communities.
The Madhesi moderates must recognize and articulate that a mutual better future is possible if they work with and through Pahadi moderates. The same holds true for Pahadi moderates. The two communities cannot hide from each other. It is the mutual interest of both to build new equal relations. Madhesi are politically powerful in the parliament and in masse to make sure equal opportunities are guaranteed this time.
In the long run Pahadis in Tarai will prove to be a vote bank and financial assurance that will be much needed for regional Madhesi parties to gain more seats. While Tarai, the economic and farming heartland, will be an important base for any of the big national parties.
Another problem with the Madhesi movement is the lack of leadership in both the social and political fronts. Bickering and personal agendas have over taken the common mans interest. Thugery and stupidity is on the verge of taking over. The political decision makers in Madhes will need a coherent ideological stance once federalism is achieved. If a regional and ethnic political party is to be a national powerhouse it cannot go on beating the same drum. It has to appeal to more than one ethnicity or else eventually its existence will be unimportant. Moderates in the Pahadi community too must understand that for a better future instead of ignoring the issue we must find common grounds to thrive on.
If the Madhesi population is to achieve emancipation that it will have to be aware of the potential “it’s because of the Pahadi” rhetoric by the politicians. Let them not fool anyone anymore while remaining unaccountable to their constituencies. The average Madhesi has suffered long for equality, and should not rest till he achieves it. And let not equality be limited only in terms of ethnicity but extend to caste, creed, gender and sexual orientation. Moderates from all communities can and must come together; there are enough people who want positive change in the system we just have to reach across.

Nepal 09/03/09

A mere glance at the news in Nepal, is enough to tell you how bad the situation is . Check this out.
Nepalnews.com reports "Nepali Congress president Girija Prasad Koirala has said the sustainability of the coalition government will depend on the actions of the Prime Minister. Koirala's reaction comes amid speculations that he is not happy with Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal after he refused to elevate Foreign Minister Sujata Koirala to Deputy Prime Minister." ARE YOU BLOODY SERIOUS???? Sujata is not even qualified to be coolie, she has nothing on her resume. Her work experience is the only thing that is smaller than her intelligence.
But can't complain much. Even if she does become the Deputy PM, its to a man who LOST general elections and wasn't even a MP prior to the coalition building to form a new government.
My history teacher in high-school used to say, "democracy does not always have to be Of the people, By the people, For the people( pardon the order), it can also be Of the idiots, By the idiots, For the idiots." Chew on that!
Vice-president Jha is still adamant that he will not take oath in Nepali. My question to Mr.Wanna Be Madhes is " Are you stupid?"
If the answer is yes, than I forgive you stupidity, but if the answer is No than- WTF are you doing? Because of your stupid regional pride you are causing so much inconvenience to normal people. You are the personification of the division in the country. If you want to take oath in any of the wonderful languages spoken in Tarai,that's fine with me, but Hindi or French or Korean or any other language that is not spoken by a significant number of the Nepali population is unacceptable. Grow the Fu** up and follow the bloody law.

"New" Nepal

I remember when the great 19 days began.

They said it was the final push,

To end what started in the villages a decade ago.

Time to overwhelm the capital with people

in hundreds,

in thousands

or perhaps a hundred thousand.

Chanting ,singing,

shouting on top of their voices.

In urgency and anger

while many spectacle seekers present

because everyone else was.

Holding small branches with leaves as placards

and partisan banners,

while the silver moon and sun lost

amongst the tree, the yellow sun, the hammer and sickle.

The home dwellers poured water

and mercy and blessings to quench

what only change could quench.

A day turned to 2 and that into a few.

Till the master was master no more

but the slave still the slave.

United on the streets, as one nation

divided by flags and banners and who out does who.

Throwing stones like bullets and upholding chest

like shields

till someone was shot

for what they believed and shouted, and all would scatter

when eyes were filled with tears.

And the police are confused

and reluctant to fight a fight that is not theirs .

Striking blows at someone he would have smiled and greeted

In and around the tol, or in the footpath vegetable stall.

Only doing what he does to feed his wife and kids

while the others do what they do to feed their wife and kids.

And those who were always feed

stayed locked up at home

dreamy castles growing taller

as people got louder

whenever someone got shot.

And when the “ruler” of the land bowed down

To secret telephoned deals and the might of the people,

Like vulture they tore his flesh

And when he was devoured

They eyed each other

And our saviors became cannibals.

Let's Shoot Chivalry Dead

I see a reflection of a beautiful girl behind me, so being the gentleman, I hope I am, I humbly open the door, and stand holding the door with a moronic smile on my face. The girl stares at me; I stare back hoping that this exchange of glares turns into romantic barter of love (just like the movies). She moves closer to me…. “O, wow…this cologne really works” I think…and then she moves her lips to say, “Why the hell are you holding the door, you think I can’t get it myself, do you think I am weak?” My smile turns into a confused look; I am embarrassed. I feel like a sexist, while all I was trying was to impress the girl with my manners. A lesson learnt I pacify myself.

A couple of days later, I see another girl behind me, and this time, being the “feminist” that I am, I don’t hold open the door for her, and she gives me a highly disgusted look. I am confused yet again. I feel like a pathetic Hamlet, in limbo between “to open” or “not to open.”

Many men today are confused as to how to go about in treating a “lady”. The previously mostly muted, often helpless dame has broken the shell of traditional conformity and embarked on a journey of independence. While leaving her male counterparts mostly clueless about what they need to do to assure her of manners, while not threatening her independence.

In the days gone by, women were considered “weaker” than men, thus they needed that extra protection, that extra care. But being a “feminist,” I feel I am insulting my ideology and women in general, if I were chivalrous for that reason. If I hold on to my belief that women are no less than men, then why all this fuss about chivalry towards women? We should scrap the idea of “ladies first.” And a true lady should not be expected to be treated any differently than a man. Though I condone any kind of violence, why are people not shocked when a woman raises her hand on a man, but make a commotion when the visa versa happens? Violence of any kind should generate the same reaction.

I have heard my female friends say, “We like it when we are treated well and appreciated. ” So do we, I naively respond. “No, but it’s different, we are girls, we are equal but we need to be treated better, we are more equal that you”. More equal? How sexist is that?

My male friends on the other hand think that a woman must we treated well because she is a woman. I question about equality and they say “Treating a woman like a woman does not harm equality”. Like a woman? What does that mean, I ponder.

Treating women equally is a must. When women raise their voices, other women who have not had the opportunity to do so, feel inspired. This leads to a wider awakening of the silently suffering masses. The concept of equality is trampled upon by stupid rules of unnecessary manners. I think it’s unmannered to treat women differently. Treating women differently shows that you are not ready to accept them as equals, while allowing someone to treat you well just because you are a woman shows that you do not consider yourself an equal.

I am not saying that men and women are the same; they are different. Neither am I suggesting that you treat your better half the same way you treat your friends. I suggest that you treat your better half well because she/he is your better half, and not because he/she is a woman or a man.

I see another beautiful lady walking behind me, but this time I hold no doors. I put my morals before my manners. And even though manners, honor, and respect for a fellow human being should never die, any social norm that treats one gender different than the other should be shot dead.

The Art of Inarticulation

by Slok Gyawali 10 July 2009

It amazes me to see how inarticulate I am in Nepali. My writing skills are deplorable, my reading is slow and unsteady, and my speaking could use a lot of work. Although I speak and understand my language, I wish I was better. The sad thing is I am not alone in this rather shameful situation. I see this epidemic all around me. Not many people educated in the English medium can even consider Nepali their first language. Many of us are most comfortable speaking and understanding the adulterated version of Nepali, but would we prefer to read or write an article in Nepali or English? Not many of us can converse in Nepali using only “Nepali” words. The question is –is the middle class urban Nepali losing their ability to communicate in Nepali?

I challenge the readers of this magazine to speak 15 sentences in Nepali without using an English word. Or if that’s too easy, write 15 sentences in Nepali and see how long it takes, and now do the same in English. I am sure the latter was a lot quicker.

So what went wrong? Weren’t we always proud (and loud) about our identity? Wasn’t our identity one thing that we never compromised; and yet we find it difficult to communicate in our own language?

Since primary school, English is of prime importance. Nepali becomes secondary, and sadly the vernaculars have no spot. The use of this uninformed education policy has lead to the extinction of many vernaculars, while producing a generation of educated Nepalis who consider English their language of choice. Kathmandu, which on average has a higher literacy rate than the rest of the country, also houses the largest number of people who prefer English over Nepali. So even if the educated urban youth comes to power, many in that demographic will have difficulty communicating in Nepali. Kathmandu dwellers will have once again alienated themselves from the rest of the country.

The previous generation grew up in awe of the English language. Those who could speak, read and write it were granted more opportunities. It was one sure ticket to a good job. This attitude, coupled with globalization, fostered this generation of English-speakers. This trend continued, implanting within this generation the English learning zeal. Music, news and television all aided in the dominance of English. Writing in English seems normal, while writing in Nepali seems exotic. Nepali has been reduced to the contaminated form we usually speak. Everyday the art of writing Nepali gets lost among SLC books and the old manuscripts that grandpa reads.

Many of us were angry (this scribe included) when our vice president took the oath of office in Hindi. Speaking in Hindi was blasphemy, but if he would have done the same in English, would that have brought about a similar outcry? Is English “cooler” than Hindi? Or is it the whole hatred of India? Let’s face it: more people in Nepal understand Hindi than English. Have we been so blinded by our awe of the English language that we’ve forgotten that it is still a foreign language like Hindi, Korean or Swahili? So why the different standard?

I can not help but admit that English helps, not just when it comes to education and communication with the outside world. It would be preposterous (and hypocritical) to suggest that we should stop studying English. English helps you to read books and understand things that have not been translated. Learning English is a door to the rest of the world; it is the world’s lingua franca. However, let’s not forget to teach ourselves our own language. Let’s not let any of our beautiful vernaculars die in the shadows of English. Rex Harrison once sung as an irritated linguist “Norwegians learn Norwegian; the Greeks have taught their Greek”, and I am sure he would have wanted the Nepali to learn their Nepali.

We vent our much justified anger at anything and anybody who disrespects our culture, tradition and heritage but have our own hands bloody with the slow murder of our language, literature and with them, a very important part of our Nepali identity.
